Event description

Description

Embracing the awkwardness of human conversation, this program offers a unique opportunity for intimate one-on-one conversations in experimental formats, tackling anxieties, debilitating habits and hard-to-talk-about subjects like mental health.

Awkward Conversations make no demands, have no expectations, and require no social skills whatsoever.

About

Our “AWKWARD CONVERSATIONALISTS” are each inspired by their own lived experiences. A mix of artists, performers and activists, they are committed to creating ways to connect, to flouting the rigid conventions of normal social communications and to respecting radical diversity.

We highly encourage people to book tickets to secure a spot with our Awkward Conversationalists. Places will be available on the day, but numbers are limited, so get in early! The Awkward Conversations Program is a safe space but would like to advise participants that conversations may contain diverse and potentially sensitive content.

Have an awkward convo with Sarah Ticho!

Sarah Ticho

WHO: Sarah is a producer and curator with an experience of acute psychosis. A distressing but also meaningful experience, this episode left her with intense, vivid, colour-saturated memories. Sarah is happy to share her experience and to hear yours.

HOW: This conversation will challenge assumptions about what psychosis is. It will explore the relationship between mania, colour and altered states of awareness. Objects will be on hand to stimulate thoughts and connections.

IS THIS FOR ME? Sarah welcomes people with experience of psychosis and bipolar – as well as people with a general interest in states of awareness and human psychology.
